Chapter 186: The Deadly Gamble in Silentdeath Jungle
“Stop!”
Just as the thirty-eight members of Twelve Zodiacs led by Saga were going into the jungle to encircle Qin Ruo and his party, a Berserker holding a Dark Gold hammer emerged from the back of a giant tree that was about ten meters away. He revealed himself nonchalantly under the gaze of Saga and thirty-nine other people. Surprised, Saga swiftly glanced at the insignia on the Berserker’s chest. In a low voice, he instantly ordered a few of his comrades who were ready to dash toward the Berserker to stop.
Bauhinia League!
‘It is indeed not a casual player party…’
Saga could not help but look around the nearby trees that were near Slayer’s Heart. As expected, Bauhinia League’s Violet Orchid also successively revealed half of her body.
Next came Burning Rose who had activated her dual defense with a strong determination to fight, Little Apple who held the Dark Phoenix Spellbreaker Sword with a cold and arrogant expression, and iLittle Arrow who held the bow and arrow with her eyes flashing.
Besides that, there were also Violetmoon Devilite in white that looked weak and delicate but held firm stance, and Gold Digger Babe who was not in Stealth mode under Qin Ruo’s instruction that revealed her position in the rear of the team…
The thirty-nine people of Twelve Zodiacs were completely shaken by this line-up. If the appearance of Slayer’s Heart from Bauhinia League could immediately stun Saga and his teammates, then the girls that appeared after him with voluptuous figures and good looks made this large group of players utterly speechless!
They thought they had been attacked by a group of powerful champions…
“How come it was a female team?”
At this moment, even the grim-faced Saga thought that the current scenario was somewhat absurd. Unbelievable! The astonishment and shock that arose made the murderous intent that they had accumulated in the past slowly fade away… They gazed at the seven people in astonishment.
However, some people on the team quickly reacted.
“Big Brother Saga, that Aquamancer is not inside.”
When Saga heard this, he swiftly scanned the girls’ faces. Immediately, he caught sight of two peculiar faces in a distance—a Zephyrus Swordmaster and a Shadow Summoner…
‘Hmmm…That Aquamancer is absent… How many people are there in the other party?’
At this time, Saga was not sure of the total number of the enemy team. There were currently nine people on the field. Including the Aquamancer, it would be exactly ten. Nonetheless, the line-up of this party was odd. It seemed like this team consisted of every Class. Just two DPS and two Priests? Certainly more than that!
Neither Saga nor the people behind him could believe that the team that ambushed them was a ten-man team with this sort of regular Class combination. They just could not fathom how powerful this line-up was.
While having their doubts, Slayer’s Heart did not give them too much time to ponder about it. He walked out of the tree and carried the Pazuzu’s Warhammer, locking onto the leader, Saga…
At that moment, Saga, who was still thinking of that Tier 4 Aquamancer suddenly felt impending danger. He unconsciously activated Fire Dragon Combat Aura, and acutely aimed at the Berserker who had no position in Bauhinia League!
He was so strong!
After he looked into Slayer’s Heart’s eyes, Saga could see something from this Berserker. Besides, he also could clearly feel the tremendous fighting intent from Slayer’s Heart and the strong confidence that made him tremble. It was just like a wave constantly pressuring him.
This guy…
“Elementalists, charge your spells!” With a glance, Saga had realized the gap between him and the opposing team as he whispered the command to the team channel.
Right at this moment, Slayer’s Heart was standing thirty-five meters away and spoke aloud, “Hey, that Ignis Swordmaster over there. Let’s talk.”
Saga frowned then replied in a deep tone, “Speak your mind.”
If it was not because he was unsure of the exact numbers on the enemy team and their true intentions, Saga would have already made several Bowmasters and Elementalists wipe them out. Otherwise, why would he have the patience to listen to the enemy to take down more than thirty of his comrades?
Slayer’s Heart was calm as he followed Qin Ruo’s wicked scheme, and spoke with a light tone as before, “You seemed to be pretty good. Let’s duel, one-on-one. The winner gets to keep the loot from Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon while the loser has to leave. Deal?”
“F*ck you! Do you think you are? Today, your people and the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon won’t be able to escape!”
Although Saga was unsure about the combat power on Slayer’s Heart’s end, he was filled with confidence after he had listened to Slayer’s Heart suggestion to PvP. He quietly gestured at the comrades behind him to launch their attacks…
However at this moment…
Slayer’s Heart next sentence made Saga retract his order to attack instantly.
“Tsk, take it easy. It’s just dull to have a chaotic group fight. If you daren’t fight one-on-one, fine. Let’s change the rules up. I’ll let you pick four other people, so I’ll fight you five. F*cking wimp…”
Listening to the Slayer’s Heart’s remark, the people behind Saga were all enraged.
‘This guy is f*cking conceited!’
After all, Saga was a Field Commander of their Clan yet this Berserker as a regular League member dared to be so arrogant?! Set aside five people, they could obliterate him into nothingness even if they picked four Elementalists at random.
Even if Saga knew that the other party’s strength was weak and that they were stalling for time, those arrogant words by Slayer’s Heart had been seared in his heart. Although the comrades behind him were just average in strength and did not stand a chance against the elites of their Clan, the current situation was completely different…
The other party had actually provoked them to a one-on-five. Not only did this Berserker look down upon his comrades at the rear, but he had also mocked Saga.
“Fine!”
Saga yelled at the top of his lungs, and could not help but say, “Since you are so confident, great! We only have five left here, tell your members to back off!”
“Great”
Eight people including Violet Orchid walked out behind the tree after Slayer’s Heart spoke in the party channel.
“Wait a minute! I don’t believe you have only these few people.”
Saga still did not forget the ghostlike Tier 4 Aquamancer who instantly killed nearly twenty of his comrades.
“That Aquamancer has already returned back to the city. If you don’t believe me, you can send two Bowmasters to check it out.” Slayer’s Heart shrugged nonchalantly. Anyway, no one could find Qin Ruo in this environment.
Saga nodded and two Bowmasters appeared. They moved around Slayer’s Heart a distance away and repeatedly scanned the area behind him, ensuring that there were no other players in the battlefield consisting of six players. Then, they looked toward Saga and nodded, confirming that this area within forty meters had been cleared… At the same time, the people behind him withdrew immediately, as did Violet Orchid and eight others.
The situation in the jungle was somewhat peculiar as the group of people removed themselves from the battlefield.
The eight people on Violet Orchid’s party, the thirty-three Twelve Zodiacs members, and the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon that was staying out of the battle stood at three different locations beyond the periphery that was a distance away from one another.
“So can we start now?”
Under the scout of two Bowmasters around him, Saga slightly relaxed. After exchanging a few words with the four Elementalists that followed him from behind, he faced Slayer’s Heart who was standing thirty-five meters away.
Slayer’s Heart kicked up the Pazuzu’s Warhammer and grabbed it in his hand.
“Let’s begin!!”
As soon as he finished his words, his entire body emanated a whistle as red light emerged. The surrounding air vibrated slightly as he activated Berserk…
Noticing the small details that appeared on Slayer’s Heart, Saga’s mood suddenly dampened.
‘This guy is really not joking. That’s advanced Berserk and he’s ready to take on five of us!’
Although Saga was unsure why the other party was so arrogant and confident, thinking of their ambush plan which had wiped out half of their forces without casualties on their end made him nervous.
He swiftly gave the attack order to the four Elementalists which consisted of an Aeromancer, Electromancer, Pyromancer, and Shadoweaver. He then rushed toward Slayer’s Heart with his intense Fire Dragon Combat Aura…
He could vague guess that the opponent’s melee ability was absolutely stronger than him. However, if it was just to provoke his Berserker with the help of four Elementalists to slay this guy…
He still had this confidence to do so!
Although, it was obvious that it was an unfair battle that would bring no honor if they won…
***
Within the forest, a few people watched the quiet space that would soon erupt into a fierce battle and whispered anxiously, “Sister Violet, why did Captain not let Little Qin help him in secret? That Ignis Swordmaster is so powerful—he is strong that my brother! Furthermore, there are four Elementalists.”
“Yeah! What’s Brother Slayer and Ruo Ruo’s plan? Why would they make such a gamble? Are they insane?”
Brother Da was also feeling down. Although he acknowledged Slayer’s Heart’s true strength, it was obvious that the Ignis Swordmaster who could dispel the Tier 5 AoE magic of a Level 47 Elite Boss was strong too! Additionally, he also invited five people to fight him… It was very clear that that the four Elementalists were the top elites of Twelve Zodiacs. It was a gamble with no suspense!
Originally, they had wanted to get some inside news from Violet Orchid’s mouth to calm themselves down. It turned out that even Violet Orchid was also staring at the battlefield with her wide open. She did not even blink as she whispered stiffly, “God knows what those two men were thinking. Our initial plan was let Qin Ruo take the advantage of this timing to slay all of them. But it turns out the fake drama become real?!”
Speaking of this, Violet Orchid suddenly recalled something that Qin Ruo seemed to have handed to Slayer’s Heart before…
